    From fat Dans weekly column.

    http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/columns/story?columnist=rafael_dan&id=6279779

    Juan Manuel Marquez has been offered a new deal with Golden Boy promotions. The first fight would be a HBO PPV with IBF 140lbs Champion Zab Judah. If Morales fails to beat Maidana it would make Marquez the first ever mexican 4 weight title holder.

    Dawson vs Diaconou is back on for May 21st. HBO told Dawson fight or you won't be on HBO for a long time.

    Vitali Klitscko is lining up a fight with Sergei Likoavich!!

    Alvarez vs Rhodes is very close. Could be moved forward to June 11th. Mayorga is being lined up for Alvarez in September.

    Tarvois Cloud vs Zsolt Erdei is possible for the Froch vs Johnson card if Cloud can get an exemption from his voluntary Yussuf Mack.

    Hozumi Hasegawa vs Jhonny Gonzalez April 8th.

    Brandon Rios returns July 9th on Showtime.

    Yurorkis Gamboa returns August on HBO.

    Sergei Dzinziruk vs Vanes Martoroysion in play for HBO in September. Pawel Wolak and Austin Trout are in the mix to fight Dzinziruk to or each other.

    Sergei Likoavich is a poor choice lost every round the valuev and was stopped by Briggs

    Any idea who Brandon rios will face I expect Murray would be ready for the 9th

    I'd quite like to see Marquez vs Judah, i think they both just enough left to make it very interesting. I'd favour Marquez in a great fight

    Marquez would destroy Zab, he'd probably quit on his stool in the middle to late rounds.

    Vitali vs Liakovich is a joke fight, the sort to make him look spectacular and get the H2H greatest brigade back in full swing.

    GBP seem very confident that Alvarez gets past Rhodes..... if he does Mayorga will give him a decent test but will ultimately lose, probably on points.

    Rios will be just the man to show Murray up - a Katsidis-Murray job would be on the cards.

    Murray no chance. Murray is taking the path of least resistance to a world title trust me on that.

    Rios vs Barerra has been discussed.

    i would see a late stoppage to buyt marquez might not carry any pop at 135 zab has been at 147 and won the world title.

    fancy rhodes to beat alvarez.

    I think Judah would beat Marquez at 140lb... Judah's chin isn't that bad, his only stoppage losses were against Cotto and KT, both very hard punchers

    Vlad could fight Chisora, they owe him one I reckon and given Liakhovich's inactivity (one fight a year since 2008 Chisora is a marginally more credible opponent

    Do you need to get exemption from a voluntary defence, isn't Mack Cloud's mandatory?

    Yeah I cant see why Vitali cant face Chisora, he hardly exerted himself in his last fight against Solis and its the least they could do for Del after ****ing him about for so long
